All 3 assault charges dropped - Leif Autzen

Excerpt:

"I am so grateful to everyone who has helped me reach this point. I was ready to fight the fascists and their nonsense all the way to trial, but if they are willing to drop the assault charges - and they are willing now, because the assault charges were bullshit which they knew all along - then in that case it doesn’t make sense for me to put myself in front of this particular jury with my injury on the line. If they decide to be bigots about the case, there’s no way a jail is going to provide me with the extensive follow-up care and physical therapy I’m going to need. Plus they have this fundie family who’s going to put their son on the stand, and the poor kid looks miserable as it is. And then to top it off, this knight guy showed up to court today in his whole chainmail costume, and this is making me realize that he is probably way more mentally ill than I realized. This dude needs help, not more attention. Why subject vulnerable individuals like that to the stress and scrutiny of the injustice system?"
